Going back to the 2006 draft, King shows how Sean Payton and Saints front office rebuilt the New Orleans team with bold, risky decisions which eventually led them to the ultimate prize: A Super Bowl Championship.
"... the Saints, when Payton took over four years ago -- was a team that didn't have a chance. Post-Katrina, we didn't know if the Saints would last another two years...
...They rebuilt a team in a city that was braced to lose it, somehow convincing enough good players and coaches that the team was worth building in such a fluid environment. There's a moral in there for so many teams in so many other cities. Hire smart people. Trust them to make bold decisions. Back them, even when the tide of public opinion rushes against you."
